Ingredients:-

• One Large Ham up to 2 ½ Kg or 6 lbs
• Half a bottle of dry white wine
• 400ml / 15 fl oz apple juice
• 100ml / 4 fl oz cider vinegar
• 100ml / 4 fl oz calvados
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons muscovado sugar
• 1 inch cube of fresh ginger crushed
• 1 tablespoon allspice
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 6 cloves garlic crushed
• 6 whole cloves
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt

Method:-

Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan, heat gently to dissolve everything and then leave to cool. Place the ham in a glass bowl and pour over the marinade. Marinate for 2 days turning the ham every 12 hours or so.

Slap the ham into the meat smoker and cook indirectly for about 5 hours basting with the remains of the marinade every hour.

TIP - Don’t be tempted to re-apply the glaze too often because every time you lift the lid of the cooker you’ll lose both smoke and heat.
